Hawaiian Education Resources
Manaʻo Hoʻokō
ʻOhana is the core/foundation of learning. You will find a compilation of resources here that help to increase awareness of and value for ʻike ʻohana, ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi, and ʻike Hawaiʻi that establishes Hawaiʻi as our ʻāina kilohana. This is an opportunity to continue strengthening HĀ by returning education to nohona Hawaiʻi that empower ʻohana (families) to be part of the holistic learning process.
